Mathematics Quote by Michael Atiyah

If only I had the Theorems! Then I should find the proofs easily enough.

— Bernhard Riemann

In many cases a dull proof can be supplemented by a geometric analogue so simple and beautiful that the truth of a theorem is…

— Martin Gardner

God has the Big Book, the beautiful proofs of mathematical theorems are listed here.

— Paul Erdos

It is not so much whether a theorem is useful that matters, but how elegant it is.

— Stanislaw Ulam

One cannot really argue with a mathematical theorem.

— Stephen Hawking

A good proof is one that makes us wiser.

— IU?. I. Manin

A felicitous but unproved conjecture may be of much more consequence for mathematics than the proof of many a respectable theorem.

— Atle Selberg

Many of the proofs in mathematics are very long and intricate. Others, though not long, are very ingeniously constructed.

— Edward Charles Titchmarsh

Mathematical proofs, like diamonds, are hard and clear, and will be touched with nothing but strict reasoning.

— John Locke

I have found a very great number of exceedingly beautiful theorems.

— Pierre de Fermat

That's the problem with false proofs of true theorems; it's not easy to produce a counterexample.

— Jeffrey Shallit

All proofs rest on premises.

— Aristotle
